TheBanyanTree: Where there's a will

[smack58 at nycap.rr.com]

It's so true.  I married a man I had known since I was 16. I married him at 22.  He was 6 years my senior, and we did not do well at marriage, to say the least.  Our initial break-up was very bitter.  After the first two years of haggling and the divorce was finally final, it was amazing how quickly we reverted to our original friendship and we were able to put our two daughters first.  We still are good friends, and when I travel to Baltimore to see my daughters (I live in the Berkshires), we love going out to dinner and drinks and sharing all our news.  Too bad about the marriage, but I love the friendship!!

street.  The street name says everything.
 
I, too, have an "ex" and we are better friends than we ever were as  
spouses. Neither of us has to fuss over the little stuff these days, so we can  
enjoy each other's company and not waste time stressing over what we could not 
 change, and no longer matters.
